Nice to know that we're not the only ones...
Wed, 7 Oct 2009, 10:13 pmSeems someone else is now getting a barrage of comments from wannabe starlets:

(Hint: read the comments)
It's sad that youngsters out there are so used to the internet now ('now'... man, I'm getting old...) that they can't spot the difference between a posted announcement/media release and an advert/casting call. Nor do they seem aware of the likehood of anyone actually caring whether or not they post on some random website; or think "hey, look 50 people who want to audition. I should get their info and have them come in!"
... Sigh... it looks like our work is never done.
It's not just about being
Thu, 8 Oct 2009, 01:22 pmIt's not just about being older or wiser: it's about basic reading comprehension. If the article posted above had said "And if you'd like to audition, here are some contact details" or something similar, I could understand. But nowhere does it say that. Instead, the people interested in auditioning seem to have missed the point of the information - which is just that, to inform of an upcoming production - and jumped right into, "hey this guy knows where the auditions will be".
Does anyone actually learn reading comprehension anymore? (Or maybe this is more to do with the fact that critical thinking isn't taught in schools)
